Book a safety visit

We offer Home Safety Checks to people who are considered to be particularly at risk of fire.

During a visit, firefighters or community safety staff will give you advice on how to make your home safer, what to do in the event of a fire and what to do if you are trapped by a fire. They will also fit free smoke alarms if a home is without one and explain how to keep them working.

To contact us about booking a visit, please complete the short form below. If you qualify for a visit, a member of our team will be in touch to arrange this Otherwise, you will find some useful information on carrying out your own check below.

If you are contacting us from a partner organisation, please do not use this form to make a referral.

Home Safety Check pre-assessment

To continue to reduce house fires, deaths and injuries we believe we need to become even more targeted in the way we deliver our safety work.To achieve this, we have changed our Home Safety Check service so that safety advice continues to be given to tall, but home visits by fire service staff are only offered for free to those most at risk of fire.Please answer some questions below to help us determine your likely risk of fire.
